Libya says Nato air strike kills dozens south of Zlitan
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14464400

The Libyan government has accused Nato of killing dozens of civilians in an attack on a village in western Libya.

Col Muammar Gaddafi's administration said Nato bombed Majar, south of the city of Zlitan, on Monday to allow rebel fighters to enter the area.

Officials say 85 civilians were killed, but Nato says the target was a military one, with civilian deaths unlikely.

A BBC correspondent says he saw about 30 body bags at a local hospital, but it was unclear how the people died.

1. NATO is not protecting civilians.
It is trying to facilitate aggressive military action by rebels against civilian areas. Rebels are firing tanks and anti-aircraft weapons into civilian areas, causing much destruction. But NATO doesn't stop them at all. Instead it is adding to the carnage. Babies killed by NATO.
